The Child Care for PCS Program is intended to help relieve some of the stress felt by families in the process of a PCS move. The Air Force Aid Society (AFAS) will pay up to 20 hours of child care (per child) in licensed Family Child Care (FCC) homes on base or in Air Force affiliated homes off base. Families with PCS orders can obtain a Child Care for PCS Certificate at the base Airman & Family Readiness Center. Families can receive a certificate at both the base from which they are departing and at their new base. Certificates are good only at the base at which they are issued -- unused hours do not transfer from one base to another.
Families may use the 20 hours of child care within 60 days before the family's departure from a base, and 60 days after arriving at the new base. This program is open to all ranks unless there is a shortage of child care providers at the base in which case priority would be given to junior ranking personnel.
